| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, novel polyHEMA/TMPT particles loaded with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) were fabricated and incorporated into a HEMA-based endodontic sealer. Release profiles of CPC, antibacterial activities, physical properties, and sealing abilities of experimental sealers containing CPC-laoded hydrogel particles were evaluated in vitro. The experimental sealers containing CPC-loaded hydrogel particles demonstrated on-demand release of CPC. By the antibacterial activity tests using an infected dentin model, sealers containing CPC-loaded hydrogel particles were found to be effective to kill bacteria in dentinal tubules. In addition, it was confirmed that acceptable physical properties and sealing abilities could be obtained by adjusting the diameter of particles incorporated.
